TIE Greensborough Free Press,
published By Christian & Plnmmer,
Caroline county has entered upon
its eighth year. The Free Press is
an ably conducted paper, and has
built its own foundation by hard
perseverance,, close application to
business and catering tothe wants of
its readers; besides, its publishers
are practical printers, which, after all
is half the battle, and the secrect of
all newspaper success. The most
successful journals Of the country
are those whose editors aud propri-
tors are practical printers. In its
anniversary remarks the editor says:
1T has enough Henry Georgeism
to believe that it had a right to exist,
tempered with the knowledge that
it couldn't collect . living until it
had earned il. With this knowledge
its course has been guided by busi-
principles and it has always main
tanned a clear record as no mans
organ" The Free Press is well
come visitor to our sanctum and we
wish it the SUCCESS which it deserves
in the broad field of journalism.

The war spirit in Europe is full
OF belligerence, but the Powers who
are expected to strike the blows are
not quite ready to deliver them. All
the governments in Europe are
storing up vast resources in war
material, but each in turn processes
to be peaceable. There is much to
puzzle the American observer in this
situation, for with an American it
is word and blow, while in the
Old World it is all words, as Ham

The proposed abolition of the
customs district of Annapolis, would
virtually open our port to the free
entry of struggled goods, and COM
pcll all masters of vessels to 60 to

and other good reasons the PROPOSE
ton does not meet with any favor
here.
THB oyster police authorities are
now on trial before Judge Morris Of

Hayes appeared for the government,
and contended that the fact that the
vessels traverse the navigable waters
of the United States makes them
liable to the statute requiring inspec-

government to compel inspection
and cited the dismissal Of the libel
